Pokes circumspect nose out of dark cave...

Details?! Oh OK...for Puppy Bear and Posthumous:

Sitting in this dark cave always brings me clarity. So, here I am at low tide sitting in a dark cave. But, my mind is odd, and you knew that. This particular cave is in Malibu where I can't afford a house, but thankfully the cave is free.

I don't know this woman, but I do know something of her journey. For those of you who connected with this image, perhaps you know something of her journey too.

My daughter says her bundle looks like a baby, but actually she is clutching her towel or clothes and heading home after her day in the sun. She and her two friends traipsed through my image taking away my clarity but perhaps improving the silhouette interest. Yes?

This cave provides safe passage from one beach and opens up into the next stretch of sand. No other way exists but through. Everyone arrives at low tide to make the crossing. High tide requires scuba equipment.

The professional portrait photographers gravitate to this beach with their lovely emaciated models or radiating wedding couples. Sometimes, the Muslims come to this beach at sundown and pray while kneeling on small carpets. Around the corner, don't look as a nude photo shoot may be in progress. Diversity abounds.

After several hours, my mind is clear and my "model" is gone. But, I'm 100 percent sure we all walked away happy.

The End of Silly Details...;-)

P.S.
Alas, no comment from my favorite hero...apparently, his eyes are too brown to look at anything so shockingly blue...*pout*

P.P.S. after writing this, I realized I entered an image with a crooked horizon...yikes!

Very nice photo with good coloring and contrast. It does not give me a "Wow" factor, but there is something that is very appealing. Well done.
